So let him stand, through ages yet unborn,
Fix’d statue on the pedestal of Scorn.

He will laugh thee to scorn.
        Ecclesiasticus. XIII. 7.		  2
                He hears
On all sides, from innumerable tongues
A dismal universal hiss, the sound
Of public scorn.

A drop of patience: but, alas, to make me
A fixed figure, for the time of scorn
To point his slow unmoving finger at!

O, what a deal of scorn looks beautiful
In the contempt and anger of his lip!
